OK, this is gonna be quick because there's not much to say except that I only have a handful of Dharma Beer koozies left, and I want them off my hands. The Twitter contest for them is over and another Twitter-based contest (for a different prize) will start in a few days, so I'm giving Long Live Locke readers one last chance to be the proud owner of a can holder that will transform any drink into a Dharma Beer. These are fun little party favors that my husband designed and, since I've been asked this a lot, no, I have no intention of selling them. I'm almost out and I want them to find a happy home with some deserving LOST fans.

To win one, all you have to do is give me a short toast for the final season of LOST. And do it quickly -- by 10 AM Central Time tomorrow (Tuesday, January 12), to be exact. One entry per person, and anyone from any country can enter, as long as I'm allowed to mail to you from the U.S. ONLY entries here on Long Live Locke will be counted -- no tweets, Facebook messages or replies to the emailed posts, please. In addition, if you include spoilers I will not publish your entry.

I'll still draw winners (eight of them) randomly, but you must submit a toast in order to be considered. It could be something as simple as "Here's to the end of the love triangle!" or more involved, like "Final Season of LOST: May your answers be many, and your Nikki and Paulo scenes be few, if any."

Good luck and have fun! I will post the eight winners tomorrow afternoon or evening.

Raise a glass to friends departed, time travel, consciousness jumping, mysterious numbers, white food boxes, insane asylums, dark and light game pieces, and of course that kiss. And be sure to thank Jacob for all of it.

Here's to LOST and all it's mind-bending twists and turns. May this season bring us the answers we've anguished over since Season One and then some! And one more thing: Thanks to all the LOSTies that have given us an extra dimension to a great story! You're the best!

Here's to LOST. You started out as a TV show but have become so much more. You are an educator, new friend connector, entertainer and so much more. You may fly into the sunset this season but your lessons and friendships will live on. Thank you. Long Live LOST

After all these years here's to everyone who stayed along for the ride, through the bad times and the good I think it's safe to say this last season shall be very emotional and damn right awesome! CHEERS!

I Raise my DHARMA water bottle(not 21 yet.) to what will be one of the greatest seasons of lost and that we will hopefully discover that our favorite lost characters aren't actually dead(Mine's Faraday btw)

Here's to the greatest show that ever lived and the fans who've lived for it week after week - thanks for the memories (mine, mostly of Sawyer...) and here's hoping for a fulfilling final season for us all!

A Toast to the final season of Lost! Where, with only a few episodes left, our band of Losties will finally start asking each other the questions we've been asking each other for the last 5 years. Namaste.

I raise my glass to US, the fans of LOST, for battling the muck-raking nay saying sheeple to blast our beloved Island into the stratosphere of science fiction yumminess...for out of the rubble of circular plotlines, cookie cutter pilots, and reality faux-shows our lush enigmatic Island emerged to capture the intellect and appetites of our forward thinking world...Saying good-bye will be so bittersweet..Thank you for the knowledge, the challenges, and that good ole supernatural love.

Here's to the ending of the amazing experience LOST has been on so many levels, and to the (much more than) 108 hours I (and many with me), will use, after all is said and done, to rewatch and relive the experience.

As I raise my glass, with a tear in my beer, I'd like to thank "Darlton" and company, for many hours of suspense, drama, love triangles, and SHIRTLESS SAWYER!! Our tv viewing lives will never be the same---

Here's to the watching warm sunny tropical beaches while we huddle inside away from the bitter cold February winds! To Walt and Claire - who were my favorites until they disappeared. To Shannon and Ana Lucia who I still miss. And to Jack and Sawyer - the reason I still watch.

Here's to LOST, may this season be the best season of all time in television, and may it make the other tv series look like silly cartoons. May the final season be so awesome that it will remain in our heads and give us material to discuss it for decades to come.
